Perfect morning in Shackleford county. 30 degrees, no wind, frozen dew on the ground, and a beautiful sunrise. Only a spike in the pen until around 8am the things started happening. Had a decent 8 wander by but never stopped. Then this guy appeared and jumped in the pen. Watched him for a minute and decided to shoot. He was facing me at the shot and took off, jumped the pen and hran straight at me befor veering off into the trees. I waited 20 minutes or so and in that time saw another 6 deer up in the lane. Walked down to the pen and only found a small blood smear on a weed shaft. Followed a few faint blood streaks into the trees and found him about 20 yards inside. Hit him right center in the chest and blew up his heart. I’m pretty happy. Non AR county. There's three others much better on camera but I liked him at the moment.

Nope, no AR. Bad pic angle, probably 14-15 in across. He's at the processor and game warden wont let them release heads until meat pickup,
What? How can a game warden not release a head?
Dan at Dan's Smokehouse outside of Weatherford said the game warden says the head stays with the meat until final destination. Been going on for 3 years now.

Every processor I have dropped a deer off with for years log it in with all the license info and give you basically a wildlife resource document to take with you and the head. That doesn't make any sense to me.

As stated above all they have to do is fill out the form to keep with the mount when you take it to it’s final destination. Home,taxedermist, etc. will they cape out and freeze for you?
